  1. Thanks for sharing! We are homeschooling again this year, and from last year my children too loved the read aloud times (even my older ones!)

  3. I love seeing what other homeschoolers do! I'm hoping to get a post up soon with my plans. We're planning to start the first week of Fall, though, so I've got a bit of extra time. I like your read-aloud list. I'm hoping to go through some of Ambleside Online's year 0 booklist this year with SA.

    1. I went to the Ambleside online website a while ago, they do have great booklist :-) Find their website a bit confusing to navigate but that might just be me (I might be a bit if a website snob hehe)

      Simply Charlotte Mason http://simplycharlottemason.com/ also have great booklist and other helpful tips on how to plan your school year.

    2. I find Ambleside Online a bit hard to navigate too. I'll have to check out Simply Charlotte Mason again. I've looked at it before, but not recently.

  4. I love the booklist. With our current youngest starting Pre-K this year, I get to revisit some of those favorites that are otherwise a little "too young" for the girls to enjoy. And I love the info on Ambleside but agree about the navigation! LOL Found you from Far Above Rubies Domestically Divine Tuesdays!
